PASSAGE -3
Hundreds of plants and animals are (21) every day due to
deforestation and urbanization what might happen if this continues
in the future ? The last mass extinction of plant and animal species
occurred 65 million years ago with the Dinosaurs. In all, five mass
extinctions have occurred and scientists (22) earth is in sixth mass
extinction. The world as it is now is threatened, including people,
who are responsible for earths (23). Pesticides contaminating
water; over harvesting of animals and plants; air pollution; illegal
fishing and the Clearing of land are direct results of urbanization
and deforestation. People have (24) and damaged almost half a
earth's land, at a very unsustainable rate.
Global warming is having a serious impact as well. A six-degree
Celsius increase in global temperature killed 95% of All species on
Earth 251 million years ago. An increase of six-degree Celsius is
forecast this Century if a change is not made to (25) the damage
done to earth. Humans will be one of the 95% of species lost.

the change in season Urnings. Migrating birds are migrating earlier,
which in turn is causing them to hatch eggs and (27) young earlier
than they did at the beginning of this Century. While this is just
the tip of the iceberg many other (28) regarding the extinction of
plant and animal species need addressing. It is more important
now than ever before to pull our heads out of the sand arid make
changes for the (29) of the earth. Future generations are (30), as
they are a species as well.
